Brita 2ct Elite Replacement Water Filter for Pitchers and Dispensers: Reduces Odors, Filters Lead & More

A: Thanks for asking, and we're happy to provide the details. We have made recent improvements to our LongLast Filter with our LongLast+ Filter to improve the flow for faster filtration. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to give us a call at 800-242-7482 using reference number 220318-000534. Thanks again. Alexandrea from The Brita Team

A: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Krystal. We don't make claims about TDS reduction at Brita, because TDS isn't a measurement of water safety. It is only an aesthetic (taste) measurement. We focus on what we think matters most to people, contaminant removal and taste. Our filters are certified to reduce contaminants like lead, mercury, cadmium, among many others. If you have any additional questions, please visit our website or give us a call at 800-242-7482 using reference number 211228-000422. Thanks for allowing us to help. Alexandrea from The Brita Team

A: These do not remove TDS, I bought a TDS meter. Reading was almost the same pre and post filter. I will be returning these filters to my local Target.

A: Hello, and thank you for being a part of our Brita family. We're sorry to hear that our Longlast is filtering slowly. Rest assured that we take all of your feedback seriously, and for allowing us to address this issue. For further assistance, please give us a call at 800-242-7482, and mention this reference number: 190917-000873. We appreciate you standing with us in our mission to keep plastic bottles out of the ocean and protect our environment. We strongly believe that enjoying filtered water will make a difference. ‘Hope to talk to you soon. Liz from the Brita team

A: I have same issue. After 4 weeks the long last filter takes 12 hours to work. Overnight doesnt filter all the water.

A: Ray, thanks for getting in touch with us. No, our Elite filters aren't compatible with PUR systems. If you have more questions, call us at 800-242-7482. Have a hydrated day! Jeffery from The Brita Team

A: Thanks so much for asking. Yes, you would just reset the timer for the Elite Filter. To begin troubleshooting, take a look at your pitcher to determine where the indicator is located. If the indicator is on the top of your pitcher’s lid: 1. Press and hold down the STATUS button. Hold it there for 2 seconds if you’re using a white filter or 6 seconds if you have a blue filter. 2. Release the button when the green light next to your filter icon flashes three times by itself. We hope this helps, and if you have more questions, call us at 800-242-7482 and mention #241118-000421. Have a wonderful day! Jeffery from The Brita Team

A: Thanks for asking, as we're happy to help! Brita Elite Filters are certified to reduce microplastics (defined by NSF/ANSI 401 as particles from 0.5 to 1 micron). They're also certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 53 to reduce PFOA and PFOS, two of the most widely used PFAS compounds. If you have additional questions, please call us at 800-242-7482 and mention reference number 240521-000630. We hope this helps! Ashlee from The Brita Team

A: Thanks for asking! While our Elite Filter works well to reduce chlorine (taste & odor), lead, mercury, cadmium, benzene, asbestos, Class 1 particulates, and more, it isn't certified to reduce iron. As long as your water is municipally treated, you can still use our filters. If you have additional questions, please call us at 800-242-7482 and mention reference number 240408-000555. We hope this helps! Ashlee from The Brita Team

A: Hi there. Thanks for your interest in our Elite Filter, and we're happy to answer your question. While it works great to reduce chlorine (taste and odor), cadmium, 99% of lead, mercury, class I particulates, asbestos, and benzene, it doesn't reduce magnesium.
